Clemente Bar
New York, USA · Two-room cocktail lounge and chef’s counter · North America
Above Eleven Madison Park, Clemente Bar has a walk-in-friendly Lounge for à-la-carte cocktails and bar snacks and a separate reservation-only Studio chef's counter. The owner publishes a sample Lounge list and opens bookings three weeks ahead; do not confuse the two rooms' menus or entry rules.

Historical 86/100 and medium confidence retained. This source check qualifies attribution without recalculating the proprietary score or establishing a representative current customer sample.
Score context
Two 2024 critics praise Clemente Bar’s cocktails but disagree about its food: Helen Rosner is sharply critical, while Bryan Kim is positive. Their accounts concern the lounge above Eleven Madison Park and should not be read as customer consensus.

Source excerpt
“The cocktails, at least, are terrific... unassuming in the glass, almost solemn, but thrilling on the tongue...”
Excerpt shortened with omitted words and ellipsis punctuation from Helen Rosner’s 17 November 2024 review. She praises the cocktails but sharply criticizes the food.

Editorial citations in this read
- newyorker.comThe New Yorker — Helen Rosner, critic · 17 November 2024
Cocktails praised but food and fine-dining pretension sharply criticized; avoid flattening mixed review into consensus. Above EMP lounge is exact room.
- theinfatuation.comThe Infatuation — Bryan Kim, critic · 23 October 2024
Positive cocktails and food review contrasts with Rosner on food; same upstairs lounge, not general EMP review.
